But between all bullshit replies for a non-native English speaker I think its even more difficult to separate the finer point. At least if your observation is right I think I can draw that conclusion. Also I think often what I try to say is misunderstood, so it's going wrong in both directions and ending nowhere (or ending up blacklisted...)

That is true, where both directions are concerned. There's even an example of me asking for clarification from you, in this thread. I want to steer clear of putting the onus on you to make any exchange understandable. At the same time, I'm having a difficult time being able to tell that you actually understand what's being discussed, when it comes to the finer points of a discussion.

Well when speaking to someone repeating what someone says but using other words often helps to clear things.
Strange thing is that for my job explaining to US colleagues, English, Italian, French, German, Spanish and Asian (mostly sales) people technical matters, I'm the one figuring out what they don't understand. But probably that's easier if you're an "expert" in your field.

Interglot: The word onus exists in our database, but we currently do not have a translation from English to Dutch.

But good there is, although just two would be nice:

quote:

Synonyms for "onus": burden; load; encumbrance; incumbrance; concern; worry; headache; vexation

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN didn't hear too many. certainly much of it was discredited nonsense.

Question, if there are 10 points and you think, know or are convinced 6 are nonsense, then it's like 6 is more then half so it's all nonsense?

Just wondering if there is any gray possible between black or white.

Ahhhh, so you’re from the “sometimes science is wrong so I can believe in any old nonsense” school of thought.

Originally posted by Trance-MB But regarding 911 shown me the way, as I didn't read hundreds of sites yet and also find it difficult to judge what's factual information and what's not. Also if I post a link to a site it doesn't mean I believe all of it. I just think some interesting points can be found on it. I'm more into the science then the conspiracy interested.

I’ve already provided this link which covers 90% of truther nonsense.

Let’s put this in perspective champ. I first came across 911 CTs in 2004. Since then, I have seen hundreds of nonsense claims ranging from mini-nukes to holograms to directed energy weapons. Thus far, not a single claim has turned out to be true AND relevant, nor have any of the conclusions drawn been remotely compelling. Every single claim I am familiar with, and that was in the video in question, is irrelevant or nonsensical. I see no reason to follow up on the odd claim that I haven’t heard already. I have eaten as much dog shit as I am going to.

Well, at least your are very good in speaking that one.
Some even can't do that. I'm average in speaking three foreign languages.
